"MQ Painting was very professional in every aspect of the work they completed for us. They power washed every surface prior to painting. All surfaces were sanded or scraped as needed. Two coats of stain we applied to all surfaces. The garage doors were stripped, stained and varnished. The deck railings were completely replaced and painted on a very large deck. Originally, Jose thought only a portion of the railing spindles needed to be replaced. As the job proceeded it was apparent that all spindles and railing wood needed to be replaced. The only additional charge was for the materials, not for labor even though every spindle needed to be individually cut from larger pieces of lumber. MQ was the only painting contractor who bid on our paint job who was willing to do all the woodwork repairs needed on the deck. Other contractors said we'd need to have someone repair the deck and then they would paint it. We appreciated working with just one contractor. Their painting and carpentry work was top notch. All workers were neat, punctual and conscientious. All materials and tools were picked up and stored at the end of every work day. I discovered MQ Painting through Angie's List. I highly recommend MQ Painting and would absolutely hire them again."

"BMB Painting was Fantastic. As per their proposal and our conversations, all the outside work was done impeccably and done at very reasonable rates. All the work was done in the time suggested and they prepped all work areas and cleaned up very well. We will be hiring them again for some inside painting in the future as well. I would highly recommend using BMB Painting!"

"We hired Certa-Pro to paint our kitchen and we couldn't be more pleased with the work they did and having us feel at ease with the process. Our kitchen has a lot of corners and high areas and wanted to update itwith a new color.  When Carmina came out to give us an estimate, she was friendly and quick with her assessment.  She even helped us pick a color as we were still debating on exactly what we wanted.  Once we decided that we wanted to go with Certa-Pro, it was a quick process to schedule the painters on when they would come in.  We ended up scheduling the job on a Saturday which was convenient for us, as my wife and I both work.  It was a one day job and both painters were polite and courteous, both asking the right questions to make sure they did the job correctly and answering our own questions about how they would do the job.  They even moved our appliances to
get the spots behind them, even though no one would ever see them.  I was very impressed with the care and attention to detail they demonstrated.  Afterward they cleaned up and left the kitchen as they found it.  Aside from the new color on the walls, you
never knew they were there. 
I highly recommend Certa-Pro for any of your home paining needs.  You never know what you?re gonna get with some contractors but Certa-Pro quickly put us at ease, with both price and scheduling, we knew quickly we were in good hands.  We will defiantly call on them again for our future painting needs.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, many repair services include repainting to match the color of the existing siding or walls. Most professionals offer this service to ensure the repaired area blends in seamlessly.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.
